The Italian Renaissance produced a new type of stage comedy, experimental and even revolutionary in its time, by copying and updating the dramatic formats of Plautus and Terence from ancient Rome. The influence of these innovations on European drama - Shakespeare, Jonson, Moliere and Lope de Vega - is a familiar fact in outline, but the Italian plays themselves are unfamiliar to English-speaking readers and audiences.
